Deep inside these burning buildings
Voices die to be heard
Years we spent teaching a lesson
We ourselves had never learned
And if strength is born from heartbreak
Then mountains i could move
If walls could speak
I'd pray that they would tell me what to do
[Chorus:]
If you see me please
Just walk on by walk on by
Forget my name and i'll forget it too
Failed attemps at living
Simple lives, simple lives
Are what keep me coming back to you
No signs of life here save the embers
The occasional flame
We know the way but can't remember
Conception to the grave
I shout confessions from the greatest heights
Where no one can hear
All my fears and insecurities
Are falling like tears
[Chorus:]
If you see me please
Just walk on by walk on by
Forget my name and i'll forget it too
Failed attemps at living
Simple lives, simple lives
Are what keep me coming back to you
The drones all slave away
They're working overtime
They serve a faceless queen
They never question why
Disciples of a god that
Neither lives nor breathes
But we have bills to pay
Yeah we have mouths to feed
(I won't come back)
[Chorus:]
If you see me please
Just walk on by walk on by
Forget my name and i'll forget it too
Failed attemps at living
Simple lives, simple lives
Are what keep me coming back to you
